Days 74: Woodworking

December 13, 2022

Dear Disney,

When I was six or seven years old, my grandfather made me and all my cousins’ toys for Christmas. The Mighty Ducks had come out that year and hockey was very popular. My grandfather made each grandchild their own hockey stick, and for the young kids, my grandfather made us all tops. I remember getting the top in my stocking, holding it in my hand, and pulling the cord, watching it spin. I can still smell the wood. In the subsequent years I lost that top. I’m not sure when I lost it, but today’s Lovepop Mickey and Friends Advent made me think of his toys. I miss those toys. I miss my grandfather.

The advent today was a toolbox and workstation. It appears that the elves have work to be done.

Here is today’s story.

And the wonderful pop-ups.

Till tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Jim Dear and Darling
